Adventures in Sheridan

So I my Aunt Renea and Uncle Johnny are trying to remodel their floors because their was a hole waiting to happen with no more floor in the dinning room. I've been taking Emily while this has been going on. The first stop was to the park. The park lasted literally 30 seconds and she decided that it was too hot for her. I started to head back home and figured there is nothing for us to do because everything is piled into rooms and hard to get to so I took her to the Grant County Museum. It was a lot of fun and she had a blast and to be honest it was like I was a kid again. They had a few exhibits of old war vehicles and WWI WWII gear and of course, a lot of Navy stuff (you know it Navy kicks ass anyday) so that was awesome. While her favorite part was the doll stuff from like way back in the day to now (it was cute but war vehicles kick ass anyday but she's 3 1/2 and a girly girl).
Today I got to take Emily to the pool with my Heather, and cousins Max, Sally, and Joey (my Heather hates it when I call her Aunt because I'm 20 and she feels old something about she graduated when I was born lol). Emily had a lot of fun swimming with them and can't wait to try to jump off the diving board and try to swim without floaties. I hope she can because I think it's important for everyone to know how to swim especially kids because too many little ones die because they didn't know how to swim and somehow ended up in the water.

summer fun

This summer has so far been an interesting one. Last year I didn't get to do anything but this year will be different. Last week I think I turned into a fish. I couldn't get my right hand wet because of a procedure but that didn't keep me away from going to the river and the lakes all week. This week I am going to Kansas and Missouri to visit with family and I'm super excited about it. Normally it's fun going to the parties and I just talked my dad into going to Precious Moments Chapel so now I'm really excited about going! Then I have another week then I'm going to Iowa to see some friends I grew up with. Lets just say this summer will hold a lot of adventures and I can't wait to start them. It does suck that my brother's best friend is moving and he became an adopted little brother to me but it's for the best and his parents will get back together. Well that's all I can really type hopefully my hand will heal quickly so I can write a proper blog and it will make editing pictures a little bit easier. later

Graduations

It's really weird everytime may roll arounds I used to think wow I can't wait to graduate High School. Then I graduated and now I think oh my god I'm so old I've been out of school (now for 2 years) So now I think to myself When will 2015 roll around so I can stick a fork in it and be broke for the rest of my life? I like school a lot and I know that I have 67 hours until I graduate with an associates and then a never-ending time until I get my master's in Sociology. As much as I am looking forward to this I'm also dreading it.
My cousins are all growing up so much. My cousin Blake graduates today so I'm pretty excited. I will feel pretty old while he walks across the stage but it's all fun and games because he's graduating a year early. Next year is Crystal then myself then a few years later my brother. WOW I can't believe it. Time flies by way too fast next thing you know it you're on the front porch swing yelling at the pesky neighberhood kids to get the hell off the lawn while feeding birds.

not caring about grammar but it's a blog entry

So the economy is going down and it sucks. I noticed today that the dealerships have their flags at half mass and it wasn't memorial day weekend and then I discovered that it was only the dealerships and found out it was for the dealerships and people losing their jobs. That sucks. I got my review and got an 8 cent raise just like everybody else did as I talked to the other team members. If you got a promotion it was 30 cents. Some people got mad and walked out and some people like myself sucked it up and was thankful for a job and a little bit of a raise and went back to work.

Finals

At last my finals have kicked off a week earlier than originally planned but that is totally ok with me! Today I just got done with my Social Psychology test and it was a lot easier than expected to be. I guess the last minute study session that wasn't carefully planned worked. hmmm. My Sociology to Mental Health is tomorrow night and I get to do my first diagnosis and not get in trouble for it because it's for class reasons. I'm super excited about it and just ready for it to end. My weakness, Math, is going to start on May 5th :( I'm really scared about it because I've had friends that have taken the same class four times and I really don't want to do this again. Just take this then intermediate then free at last! I need to finish err start my Applied to Psychology paper that will be five pages long. No bulling this paper because he expects it to be perfect and grades hard on them too.... crap. Intro to Criminal Justice won't be hard at all I know that like the back of my hand. lol. Well, gotta start dinner because my dad won't start his part before I think about starting.

This week in class....

So Monday was really cool not only is it the day of one of my favorite classes it was also the day I got to see a Narcotics dog. It was sooo awesome because I love animals and German Shepards are really awesome because you can train them to do anything and everything and they remember it. Unlike my dog a Golden Retriever you can't do anything with it because it only wants to take your food or hunt. Pretty boring when you haven't taken Hunter's Ed and when your really hungry and trying to eat. We were originally going to get out at 7pm but we thought it was interesting and wouldn't let them leave until 8pm. Then Wednesday rolled around and it was the day of my boring class that never gets out when I want it to (It starts at 6pm and I want to leave at 6 and 30 seconds) but I was actually entertained. I didn't go the week before because I had Emily so I didn't participate but she let me make up for it by bringing the evaluation forms to the Psych office which was fine. Going to Stabler Hall was not going to kill me. I had to have someone go with me and after telling her I wasn't going to call for an escort she made the only guy in class go up there with me. I still don't know why but whatever. We talked the whole way and I guess he just doesn't know how to socialize but he really wasn't weird after all. He just doesn't like to talk in front of people and thats why he's usually a nervous wreck whenever he talks out loud in class. Unlike me, I'm in the back cracking jokes left and right counting down the pages until we leave annoying my friend Rebecca while doing so. Today was pretty interesting because the teacher I've had for the last three semesters finally came out of why she asks this question to her Intro to Soc. students and she's now going through a divorce. I'm still afraid to answer the question because that means I'm ready and I have thought of the question the first time she asked me it and I still think of it from time to time and still can't answer it. She told me tonight that when I'm ready I'll answer the question but if I can't answer the question honestly then don't do it. So I'm having fun and not thinking of the question. I did ask a couple of people and neither one of them could answer the question. Well, off to go through my finals. Next week I have to analyze a diagnosis because I've already diagnosed a person with PTSD and Sex addiction. Wow I love Sociology of Mental Health!

The Waiting Game

The waiting game. We all play it even if it's just standing in a never-ending line at the grocery store. Sometimes it's for bigger things like being in labor forever and a half for it all to be over with and you forget the pain. Then there is graduation. I remembered for my high school graduation I sat there for what feels like forever just waiting to get the diploma and leave. No longer in high school. But those are for more joyous times in your life. Now there is the death waiting game. You just sit at the hospital pacing back and forth calling the insurance company, the funeral home, the family and friends. You try so hard to keep yourself together to talk to these people but you can't hold up. You're scared that you don't know what's going to happen to them once they die because death is final. Nothing more comes of life except for getting burned or burried. It really sucks but it's part of life. It's the longest wait in your life because its the last moments that you will have with your loved one. I have enjoyed spending time with my cousins because I love being with my family and spoiling my little cousins whenever possible but really it sucks for the reasons of why we are spending time like this. Well off to play the PhD in Sociology waiting game....
